The romans used this for fresh water distribution. Aqueduct came into the city in only one place, but then 20 or 30 cisterns were hooked together with pipes and as long as a minimum amount stays in the very bottom so air didn't get in the pipes, the aqueduct would eventually completely fill every cistern in the system without the need for pumps or dudes hauling buckets.
This inane pointing out the things these videos often do are enraging me to no end. I feel like a chimp being explained something. "Look here. Right here....not there....over here.... right here......do you see this glass?"
Boy, I sure am glad she pointed to the three glasses the camera is focused on, otherwise I would have thought the video was about the blurry chair in the background.

Showed my boss this on a job site. Had a 50 gallon barrel of water but someone forgot the pump. Dropped a garden hose in and let it fill, plugged the end and pulled it out. Steady flow.
I, uh, didn't get a raise for this knowledge. I don't work there anymore.
1x goes toward 1/3 (x+y+z) in n milliseconds, 1y goes toward 1/3 (x+y+z) in p milliseconds, and Zero z goes toward 1/3 (x+y+z) in q milliseconds. Where 1y = 1x - 1m. Where m = amount removed by meddling with straw.
The generalized term is 'Nature abhors a gradient', since it applies to any type of energetic differential, not just pressure. The vacuum of space is only a vacuum with respect to a plenum; if there is no gas nearby, there is no gradient to degrade.
Pedro Pascal is an actor who is on many movies currently. Blaise Pascal was the guy that explained in the 17th century what happens with them glasses in the video (Pascal‘s Principle).
This would mostly work if the glasses have the same shape / area, as this only equalizes the fluid height. Also, I think there's enough viscosity in the fluid such that the first glass will have a slightly higher fluid level than the originally empty glass.

No, your video shows the economy as it is now: It all accumulates and is less distributed.

Does it work with other shapes or only square-ish glasses?
laternamagicalux
It works with roughly 33% square-ish glasses, and about 66% roundish glasses.

Seems like the roundish ones here are compatible.

How do they not have 3 of the same glasses to do this in?

I’ve heard that nature abhors a vacuum, but this isn’t abhorrent at all
bingotown
Of course, this is a video of the atmosphere abhorring a vacuum and trying to fill it.

But thats what 99% of the univers is, a vaccum or just empty space

It doesn't go full vacuum.

You never go full vacuum. Also, is there any other word in any language with a “uu?”

To prevent your children from fighting over whose glass is fullest. Brilliant!

Only if all three glasses are identical. It doesn't enforce equal volume.
